* Documentation: Simplify the website main page.Flavio Leitner2021-01-071-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The initial website page is difficult to read because of the large amount of links from different parts of the whole documentation. Most of all those links come from their index page referenced in the section 'Contents' on the side. Another issue is that because the page is static, new links might not get included. This patch simplifies the main page by highlighting the project level documentation. The static part is reduced to the main level index pages. All the links are available by clicking on 'Full Table of Contents' at the end of Documentation section. Signed-off-by: Flavio Leitner <fbl@sysclose.org> Signed-off-by: Ben Pfaff <blp@ovn.org>
* tunnel: Bareudp Tunnel Support.Martin Varghese2020-12-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are various L3 encapsulation standards using UDP being discussed to leverage the UDP based load balancing capability of different networks. MPLSoUDP (__ https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7510) is one among them. The Bareudp tunnel provides a generic L3 encapsulation support for tunnelling different L3 protocols like MPLS, IP, NSH etc. inside a UDP tunnel. An example to create bareudp device to tunnel MPLS traffic is given $ ovs-vsctl add-port br_mpls udp_port -- set interface udp_port \ type=bareudp options:remote_ip=2.1.1.3 options:local_ip=2.1.1.2 \ options:payload_type=0x8847 options:dst_port=6635 The bareudp device supports special handling for MPLS & IP as they can have multiple ethertypes. MPLS procotcol can have ethertypes ETH_P_MPLS_UC (unicast) & ETH_P_MPLS_MC (multicast). IP protocol can have ethertypes ETH_P_IP (v4) & ETH_P_IPV6 (v6). The bareudp device to tunnel L3 traffic with multiple ethertypes (MPLS & IP) can be created by passing the L3 protocol name as string in the field payload_type. An example to create bareudp device to tunnel MPLS unicast & multicast traffic is given below.:: $ ovs-vsctl add-port br_mpls udp_port -- set interface udp_port \ type=bareudp options:remote_ip=2.1.1.3 options:local_ip=2.1.1.2 \ options:payload_type=mpls options:dst_port=6635 Signed-off-by: Martin Varghese <martin.varghese@nokia.com> Acked-By: Greg Rose <gvrose8192@gmail.com> Tested-by: Greg Rose <gvrose8192@gmail.com> Acked-by: Eelco Chaudron <echaudro@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ilya Maximets <i.maximets@ovn.org>
* Remove OVN.Mark Michelson2019-09-061-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OVN is separated into its own repo. This commit removes the OVN source, OVN tests, and OVN documentation. It also removes mentions of OVN from most documentation. The only place where OVN has been left is in changelogs/NEWS, since we shouldn't mess with the history of the project. There is an exception here. The ovsdb-cluster tests rely on ovn-nbctl and ovn-sbctl to run. Therefore those ovn utilities, as well as their dependencies remain in the repo with this commit.

* doc: Create directory structureStephen Finucane2016-12-121-0/+31
Create a series of sections, all of which are currently empty, using the general design established by Jacob Kaplan-Moss and the Django project [1]. Five sections are provided: - intro - tutorials - topics - howto - ref - faq - internals The purpose of each section is described in the documents themselves.
